This is a trimmed down version of my review, to view the full review visit The Book Ramble.
I have waited and waited to read this graphic novel for months ever since I first heard about it. I was very excited for this and I am so glad I read it.
Brown tried, and succeeded, to show the complexities of Andre as a person and as a character within his wrestling career. I was impressed with the research that Brown did for this book. There are source notes, bibliography, and index of terms at the end of the book.
I really liked the art in this book as well. I thought Brown's style really matched well with the content and was really great to look at. I was impressed how well Brown depicted even the subtle changes in Andre's appearance as he grew older and sicker and how he captured Andre's character and spirit in his drawings.
I found this really enjoyable, and sometimes touching, graphic novel to read. If you're a fan of this style of graphic novel, wrestling, Andre the Giant, or biographies this is a must read.
